    I love your truck :drool:

    I'm hoping to get a bed rack like you and 45acp have. I'd love to be able to switch out a spare tire and ski racks on the rack, and have a hi-lift mount on it.

    I hate the drop in liner, I want to get it sprayed some day, just not very high on the priority list right now.

    I did pull it out yesterday to take a look at some mounting options and It looks like that liner has been in there since new, the bed is spotless other than the rub marks from the liner.

    who has KM2 copies? :spy:

    X2 on the cheaper part.

    I am looking at the "wardens" from treadwright (BFG AT copys) and they are $93/tire for 31X10.5. The "name brand" tire from BFG is $190 a tire...and I have to pay shipping for either tire I get :eek:

    I plan on building a few of these racks pretty soon. I've got requests in from a few different people interested in them before spring time. Now that my new welder is here I might try to whip out a batch of these if there is enough interest.

    rear view with this setup actually isn't bad. When on the highway I can check my blindspots just fine and with the two boxes I have a pretty clear view straight out the back. I'm sure some visibility is compromised but it hasn't been a problem.

    I'd be another person to add to the list of those interested! Your bed rack is the best I have seen on 1st gens!
    Not to mention the fact that I cannot weld nor do I have a welder lol

    Well the quest to trade my tires for a locker axle didn't bode well...The wrecked tacoma wasn't his, but i did make a new friend and learn whos it was so im off to try and convince him to give it to me for my old KM2s :cool:

    Also my new found friend is currently making his own plate bumper, which has driving lights mounted in it as well as fogs and blinkers. I think it'll turn out pretty well. AND he might have the best cheap driving light i have ever seen :spy: Ill have to update you all on how that turns out...

    Those boxes look like the perfect size. I want something large enough to carry spare CVs, a jack stand or two, and other misc equipment.
